I found it! My 2021 #RevPit #10Queries from Elizabeth Buege. She’s why I removed my prologue, and my new first pages were much stronger as a result.
Q7: ya spec fic I love love love the premise and voice here! Try to trim summary down to just a few paragraphs mc and their goals, intro of central conflict/stakes, & then rising tensions and choice/obstacle before them P7 (cut the prologue essentially )

Happy Pride 🌈🌈🌈
Transcript: 'Tonight my daughter (she is eight years old) asked me, "What does LGBTQ mean?" And before I could answer her my mom said, "She doesn't need to know about that." 'I told my daughter, "the L is for lesbian which is romantic love between two women, the G is for gay, which is romantic love between two men, the B is for Bi which is when somebody has romantic love for both men and women, the Q is for questioning or queer which is when someone understands they are not hetero, and the T is for when someone transitions from one gender to another so they are living in their true form and true to their heart. All this is about love, how people find love in the world and how people love themselves for who they are." 'Aurora said, "I understand, that's really beautiful." 'Part of breaking unhealthy cycles in family structure is talking to your children and teaching them love and understanding and breaking old stigmas and misinformation. I understand that some people of older generations think it's about sex, but the question my daughter asked wasn't about sex, it was about love.'

Announcing my WIP - BLOOD MOON EMPIRE, a YA/NA Romantasy set in late 1800s Mexico 🔥

Her hand is delicately held at her throat.

I brought my skeleton inside and gave him a lap blanket for fun, and my traitorous cat ditched me to go sit on his lap instead. Typical cat behavior.
Cat lies on skeleton’s knitted blanket covered lap on a beige couch. Blanket is olive green, gold, and burgundy.

#WritingCommunity I made a little modification to this meme 😅
At left, text reads Normal Skeleton and a normal skeleton is pictured w a straight spine. At right text reads Writer Skeleton and skeleton now has a curved spine, peering down.
